Whatever decree that we have to make should be sealed
up with the right seal in order for it to be effective in combating the
opposite force. The only seal given to us to tidy-up all our decrees and prayers
is the name of Jesus Christ.

John
14:13 (NIV)

“And I will do WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME, so that
the Father may be glorified in the Son.”

The name of Jesus Christ is the only name that is given
for the children of the kingdom to use in making request and decrees. No other
name is acceptable in heaven. This is because; it is the cleanest name under
and above the sun. The name of Jesus is not polluted or corrupted. It is
stainless, and for this reason it is qualified to seal our prayers and decrees.
While He walked the face of this earth, Jesus sanctified Himself in order to
sanctify us as well.

John 17:19 (NIV)

“For them I sanctify myself, that
they too may be truly sanctified.”

This implies that when we declare or make our decrees
standing before God, God approves or grants our decree or prayer because of the
name of Jesus. The name of Jesus remains the only name that is very pure to be
used for prayers. It is preposterous that many people are using the blood of
Jesus to tidy-up their prayers and decrees. This is a wrong application.

We have to note that the Kingdom the children of God
belong to is the Kingdom of truth. Therefore any citizen of this Kingdom must
align himself with the attributes of the Kingdom. While we fight the Kingdom of
darkness we must epitomize this quality in our lives and when we do so it will
prove that we are really the citizens of this Kingdom. If our claim of being
the representatives of Jesus Christ is genuine, we must be truthful because
that is His nature as He rightly quipped: “I am the way and THE TRUTH and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me"(John
14:6)

Jesus is the truth. The implication of this is that for
us to fight the Kingdom of darkness we must buckle ourselves with the truth.
Such an attitude of being truthful will strengthen us spiritually by providing
us the stamina required to withstand any push from the power of darkness. And
if we must stand firm we must be ready to do what Jesus did. We must make truth
our buckler. “Whoever claims
to live in him must live as Jesus did.” (1John 2:6)

3.The Breastplate of Righteousness

Ephesians 6:14b (NIV)

“With THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in
place”

Again we are in the Kingdom of rectitude, a kingdom
where sin is not allowed, a kingdom that is known for its limpidness. So, all
the children of the Kingdom of Light must possess the attribute of
righteousness to clearly identify them with the kingdom to which they belong. This
is only achieved by believing in Jesus Christ in whom they are made God’s righteousness.

1Corinthians
1:30 (NIV)

“It is because of him that you are in
Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness,
holiness and redemption.”

2Corinthians
5:21 (NIV)

“God made him who had no sin to be sin
for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

In this case the children are made righteous by their faith
in the finished work of Christ. If one has not believed in Jesus Christ the
righteousness of Christ has not been imputed to his life. What this means is
that such a person has no right to contend in the battle because if he does his
defeat will be imminent.

It is common thing in our society to find people in every stratum keenly asking this question of God’s whereabouts. The statement has been, “if there is God, where is He?” To them, inasmuch as God is not visible to unclad eyes, there is no point saying that He exists. This factor of invisibility has become a hard nut for many to crack. For this reason many who would have liked to believe in God decided to think otherwise. The attention has been placed on a kind of God that is visible, and can be located and reached to ask some questions. People have always wanted a kind of God that they can pay visit anytime they desire and probably have some cups of tea with, thereafter lay their needs and frustration on Him. And perhaps, they have wanted a kind of God that they will reach out to and ask Him to teach them how He made this world, so that they will start creating their own world. It is unbelievable that someone made this magnificent world and He’s nowhere to be found, at least He shou…

Case Study Text:
“And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.”
1 Cor 15:45 – 47 (KJV)
Talking about the curse, it is important to ascertain that in real terms, God didn’t curse the man. Remember, the consequence will only manifest if the action is taken inasmuch as the action is not taken, there is no way the consequence will manifest. Therefore, it is an authentic fact that the man brought the curse upon himself and not that God cursed him. What God did was to help him understand what has happened to him as a result of his action. For instance, if there is a ravaging disease surging up in the society and some medical team starts to create awareness and carrying out campaign on the disease and lett…

Daniel Osato Edegbe Uddo - Talking Christianity Correspondent, he wrote from Lagos Nigeria
Let us take a little time to consider the impact of the
church to the growth of the economy and its role in the reduction of
unemployment in the Nigeriansociety. Most people may never have anything good to write about the
modern Nigerian church because of the way it has presented itself overtime, but
still we have to consider some of its advantageous input to the growth of the
economy.

Continued from the last episode:
This implies that if someone dies, no matter the circumstances that surround his or her death, God has no hands in it. The only person God has killed is Himself in Christ, and in this He died a sacrificial death to save man from death. And of course this sacrificial death is the source of eternal life He has offered to man. In the light of this understanding, it is proper to say that if while people are carrying out some religious activities and eventually they die or fail, it’s not God that killed them and God didn’t fail them. One thing that should be made clear is that God is not religious and He didn’t create any religion and is not involved in any religion! I said all of that to say this, that Christianity is not a religion and should no longer be seen as one. The truth is that over the ages and civilizations, many out of ignorance and selfishness have infused religion into Christianity. Nevertheless, that they did it and it is relatively unoppos…

Most of us have heard about the prophecy that went viral by
a Pastor revealing dates that certain bad incidents will happen within and
outside Lagos, and some transportation companies that will be involved.Now do you think it was revealed so people
can avoid going out or traveling on these days or to pray against it and stop
it.. As so many of us have decided to totally avoid the road, it has caused an
arousal of fear and unrest in the city of Lagos...

Spiritual entities dissipate information or messages that reveal their core values to the public and they expect the public to know them by these messages they preach. So their messages invariably become their identity because they point to what they are and represents. Also, it is important to point out that it is their message that brings people and as many that they bring among them are established by the same message. However, it is important to note that Christianity as a spiritual entity has its own message and this message is called the message of salvation. This implies that the right Christian message should be that message that can save people from condemnation and it is rooted in the teaching of the early Apostles. To ascertain the right message therefore it is worthy to align any message preached by anyone with what was preached by the early Apostles and if such message doesn’t align properly it should be discarded.

Furthermore, consider what Apostle Paul says in this verse “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Col 1:25-27). Also “That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel” (Eph 3:6).

It is easy for one to say there is nothing as a Christian relationship and conclude that relationship is relationship and cannot be sub-divided into any category. Here we have two main words to cogitate about and as a matter of fact give a definition to them. Giving a definition to them will further aid us in the understanding of the subject matter.
